The Taxonomy of Connected Device Networks

As Golioth expands support for devices that are not directly connected to the platform, new concepts and capabilities are required to accommodate networks. This post introduces unmanaged devices, proxying, and impersonation.

Detecting Text From Images Over A Cellular Link

This post and video demonstrate taking a photo with a low power camera and cellular-based microcontroller and transmitting to the cloud for processing. Rick Jen from the Microsoft Azure team shows how to accept those images and work with the Azure AI OCR service to extract useful text and store it in a database.

Managing OTA Updates for Multiple IoT Hardware Variations

Get the right OTA update to the correct device every time! Goilioth's firmware update system lets you compile with a custom package name for each different hardware variant, and target the rollout to these devices using Cohorts.

Custom Board, Custom Zephyr Devicetree (AirTag Session 3)

Sign up for the AirTag Clone webinar series to watch Golioth build out board definition files for the Orleon board, a Bluetooth sensor platform/playground. The upcoming session on May 23rd will walk through setting up all required build files.

Where’s my (Bluetooth) drill?

We implemented Golioth's Bluetooth-to-Cloud connectivity on a battery pack on a commercial power drill. We not only monitored power usage of the drill, we also looked up the location of the most recent gateway we connected through and attached that to the drill's device record.

How to Query LightDB Stream Data the Right Way (POST vs GET)

Golioth's REST API is a power way to query data that has been sent to the cloud. Marko explains how he approaches the tradeoffs of POST vs GET calls to the API and how it impacts the resulting data.

Firmware

Golioth Firmware SDK v0.18.0

Golioth released Firmware SDK v0.18.0 which pulls in the recent changes from upstream Zephyr, nRF Connect SDK, and ESP-IDF repositories. We are also introducing new gateway support, adding new supported boards, and improving blockwise transfers.

How to Sniff Cellular Packets with a Nordic nRF91

Sniffing network packets from a cellular modem is actually pretty easy. It only seems daunting because at first glance you're left wondering how to acquire the packets. Nordic's nRF91 modems have a trace capability that can be used to pipe packets from the device into Wireshark over a USB connection. Here's how to use it.
